Description: 60 pISBN: 9241542330Title translated: Niveles de intervención derivados para radionucleidos en los alimentos : normas aplicables en caso de contaminación radiactiva generalizada a consecuencia de un accidente nuclear grave; Niveaux d' intervention dřivš pour les radionuclǐdes dans les aliments : mesures recommanděs en cas de contamination radioactive ťendue par suite d' un accident radiologique majeurSubject(s): Food contamination, Radioactive | Radiation protection | Nuclear reactors | Accidents | Community Health and Primary Health CareNLM classification: WN 612Online resources: Click here to access online Abstract: Meets the need for guidance in managing the public health problems posed by widespread contamination of food and drinking-water following a major nuclear accident. Intended to help national authorities introduce appropriate protective measures, the book presents guidelines for the calculation and application of derived intervention levels below which action to reduce or avoid the potential health detriment would not be justified. Guideline values are specific to the problems created when substantial releases of radionuclides spread to regions far from the accident site. Calculated guideline values are presented for seven food groups and for drinking-water, with separate guideline values given for infants on a milk diet. The book also offers guidance in calculating the cost-benefit of countermeasures, country-by-country tabulations of food consumption data, and an elaboration of factors that can influence the distribution of radiation dose in a mixed population. The book concludes with sample calculations for determining situation-specific derived intervention levels.
